Abstract

BACKGROUND: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status, closely related to immunotherapy outcomes, is a reliable biomarker for screening patients who may benefit from immunotherapy. Here, we developed and validated an interpretable machine learning (ML) model based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) radiomics for preoperatively predicting PD-L1 expression status in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
